Precious In His Sight

Folder: 
The Word of God

Precious in the sight of God, are saints, who leave this earthly sod,

His children, who experienced death, as they receive eternal breath;

No longer left on the earth to roam, as they enter their eternal home,

Prepared for them by Jesus Christ, when they step into Eternal Life.



They’ll leave behind some family, still on that other side of Eternity,

Their loved ones indeed will grieve, but, we must know and believe,

That as they move from this earth, their life takes on Eternal Worth,

And they’re now, in a better place, provided by God’s loving Grace.



We may not understand God’s will, and probably won’t, that is until,

We step onto God’s Gilded Shore, to see His face and much more;

Dear friend, after all, we are His, and to enter into Eternity, is a Gift,

And its Full Measure, only starts, when from earth, the soul departs.



This departure, shall be for us too, as God’s Word is Sure and True,

Our departing from a world amiss, to God’s Heavenly, Eternal Bliss,

To be freed from all pain and strife, only when we enter Eternal Life,

This is the Hope, which has endured, to all, who belong to The Lord.



When one dies, although it’s sad, our heart for them should be glad,

We may have lost, one who died, but, now they’re at the Lord’s side,

Now precious in their Lord’s sight, being filled with Heavenly Delight,

And when we join them my friend, our time together will have no end.
